Looking to connect with lenders who have done deals with the California Guaranty Program. Working on the partial acquisition of a CA business and trying to determine if the CA program will accomodate the desired structure w/out seller being required to guarantee the loan, given the upcoming SBA changes.

Thanks, Luke. Jason, I have a great guy for you, and he's local. If you'd like his information, feel free to DM me here or e-mail me at redacted And if your deal is structured as an LBO, I have someone else I can recommend.

^redacted‌ - I just brokered a large acquisition deal with the California guarantee program. Just a heads up, these loans are a lot more challenging since the lender has to portfolio the loan vs being able to sell on the secondary. The rate is higher and so are the origination fees. You are looking at prime + 2.5% with a 2.5% origination fee. I can introduce you to all the lenders that would consider this. You can reach me here or directly at redacted You can also click here to schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/ishan-jetley-3d73m8/30min. Look forward to chatting!
